Duo of pink and white Bleeding Hearts

We offer you a Duo of Pink and White Bleeding Hearts for a blooming spring in all the slightly shaded and cool areas of your garden. You can plant these perennials in small groups, under tall trees, against an east-facing wall, or even in a pot to enjoy their stems adorned with small colorful hearts up close.

The Duo consists of:

1 Lamprocapnos spectabilis: flowers in a fresh pink with white tips, the classic shape of old gardens.

1 Lamprocapnos spectabilis Alba: a version with flowers in pure white.

With its fast growth, the Bleeding Heart forms a clump that reaches a height of 60 cm when in bloom with a spread of 40-50 cm. It spreads laterally through running rhizomes, allowing it to expand if conditions are favourable and giving the plant a lush appearance as long as the soil doesn't dry out. Dicentra, now known as Lamprocapnos, are sturdy perennials that only dislike excessive winter moisture and summer drought. It is common for them to go dormant at the end of the flowering season, so there is no need to worry. However, to prevent too early a "disappearance," the soil should remain moist in summer and be rich in humus and shady.

Bleeding Hearts can be planted with other perennials that can withstand competition from tree or shrub roots, with a spacing of 70 cm between plants. Consider corydalis, bugbanes... In the foreground of a flower bed, pair your Bleeding Hearts with Heuchera 'Black Out', white Dame's Rocket, and Moulin Rouge Masterwort.

Most Bleeding Hearts go dormant at the end of spring, but this does not have any negative impact on plant growth.
